A group of students are bored while spending their summer days in Warsaw on the Vistula River. At the suggestion of a friend, they decide to go on a cheap tourist trip to Yugoslavia. Together with them, we explore the Adriatic coast, including: the islands of Šolta and Brač. On the way back they visit Makarska, Savina Monastery and Belgrade. The film was produced by the Polish Academic Union of International Rapprochement "Liga" - an inter-university association dealing with, among others, organizing trips and foreign exchanges. In 2022, it was reconstructed based on two copies brought in the 1970s from the archives in the GDR and the USSR.
